Partial eclipse (après de Malévich), 2019

Canvas, string, screws
Canvas: 80 x 80 cm.
Total size: 140 x 140 cm.

The anarchist trade union CNT (Confederación Nacional del Trabajo) was born in 1910 and its flag consists of a diagonal with red on the top and black on the bottom. However, there are also versions with black on the upper side and red on the lower side. If we add to this composition some strings that escape towards the centre, the resulting form looks like a remake of the sketch Malevich made for the opera Victory over the Sun (1913). This sketch eventually became the curtain for the second act of the opera and is the source of his famous Black Square (1915).
